Tools Required

J 45101-100 Conical Brake Rotor Washers

Important: Brake rotor thickness variation greater than the specification can cause brake pulsation.

1. Measure the brake rotor thickness variation. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement .

Important: Brake rotor assembled lateral runout (LRO) greater than the specification can cause brake pulsation.

2. Measure the brake rotor LRO. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement .



3. Remove the J 45101-100 and the wheel nuts.
4. Remove the rotor from the hub.
5. Rotate the rotor 1 wheel stud position (72 degrees).
6. Install the rotor to the hub.
7. Hold the rotor firmly against the hub. Install one of the J 45101-100 and 1 wheel nut on the top wheel stud.
8. Continue to hold the rotor and tighten the wheel nut by hand.
9. Install the remaining J 45101-100 and the wheel nuts.
10. Tighten the wheel nuts firmly by hand in a star pattern.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.

11. Tighten the wheel nuts in a star pattern in order to retain the rotor to the hub. Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications .
12. Measure the brake rotor LRO. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement .
13. If the brake rotor LRO is greater than the specification, repeat this procedure with the rotor at the remaining 3 wheel stud positions.
14. If the brake rotor LRO is greater than the specification at all 5 wheel stud positions, use an on-vehicle lathe in order to reduce the brake rotor LRO to the specification. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - On Vehicle Lathe .
15. If the brake rotor LRO is less than the specification, complete the following steps:

•	Use paint in order to mark the position of the brake rotor on the hub.

•	Install the brake caliper.

•	Press the brake pedal several times in order to position the brake rotor.

•	Remove the wheel nuts.

•	Remove the J 45101-100 .

•	Install the tire and wheel assemblies. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
